current BTL rates?

Could anyone, particularly any brokers lurking give me a rough idea of the current rates available for a 25% and 40% LTV for BTLs?
I'm fed up of only seeing the small minority available with their massive % based fees.
An idea of the charges would also be useful.
Many thanks in advance!

Do you mean 25 to 40% LTV or deposit?
It wouldn't be fair to direct you to lenders as nobody knows your circumstances.
Have a chat with a broker as there are many Buy to Let products available to brokers only.

25% and 40% deposit.
The salary isn't a problem.
I'd just like an idea if for example the 40% deposit gets me down to say 4% interest vs 5% at 25% or if they're pretty close that it's not worth chucking in another 15% deposit.
An idea of whether it's 1% 2% 4 or 8 would be a good start!
Then I can start working out rental income vs mortgage repayments (interest and or capital)0 -
Buy to Let rates vary hugely depending upon many factors. The main one is the arrangement fee. Some would have a 3.5% fee, others £995. Need to work out which is better for you depending upon loan.
Fixed rate or tracker? 2 years or 5 years? Impossible to pick rates without knowing what you want. They really do differ hugely.
For rental calculations use 6% @ 125% of monthly payment on interest only as a guide to make sure it fits.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
